A review by jvanwagoner
Admiral Hornblower in the West Indies by C.S. Forester
adventurous
4.0
A series of short stories
I finally made it through the series. This last book is a series of short stories similar to Midshipman Hornblower. It was during peacetime, so there was less wartime action, but Forester did come up with some interesting problems for Hornblower to solve. I generally enjoyed the book but would not consider it among the best of the series.
I do recommend the series as a good-thinking man action-adventure tale. I liked Hornblower's problems solving skills, and he came up with solutions to issues that I didn't think of but did make sense. In addition, his character was complex enough to be interesting.
